Xi'an, the former Chang'an - home to the terracotta army and capital to 13 dynasties of Chinese emperors - experienced World Heritage fame in 1987 when the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was listed. In 2014, five more heritage sites in Xi'an were listed as part of the Silk Roads World Heritage nomination. The ancient capital represents glorious moments of Chinese history and local citizens are proud of Xi'an's archaeological and historical status. However, the modern cityscape is as much shaped by high rises as by historical buildings and heritage policies intersect with demands for urbanization, modernization, and economic growth. This book seeks to understand how modernity, history, and heritage are reconciled in this city where the past meets the future.

He wanted to create. He wanted his creation to look like him. But he, he didn't still know who and what he was, who and what he wanted to copy Financed by the government, the greatest biotechnological attempt in the century, far away from cameras and publicity, a giant venture buried in the Amazon jungle that was meant to develop into danger that mankind has ever faced! Alive war machines with free will that were inherited with the best characteristics of every life form, the first perfect species that ever breathed on our planet! It took human intelligence, swiftness, lethal arms, and rapid reproduction rate to finally build an organism that would attempt to replace its own creator! The careless thoughts were to blame for that, the dreams of a man that played god but didn't manage to control his creations! The only thing sure was that no mind that originated in human intelligence would remain constrained in the narrow space of a prison. It was only a matter of time when they would escape, so that a day when 1.000.000 dead would sound few and would bring tears of happiness to the eyes of those who managed to survive would come!

One of TIME’s Ten Best Nonfiction Books of the Decade "Meet the new Stephen Hawking . . . The Order of Time is a dazzling book." --The Sunday Times From the bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, Reality Is Not What It Seems, Helgoland, and Anaximander comes a concise, elegant exploration of time. Why do we remember the past and not the future? What does it mean for time to "flow"? Do we exist in time or does time exist in us? In lyric, accessible prose, Carlo Rovelli invites us to consider questions about the nature of time that continue to puzzle physicists and philosophers alike. For most readers this is unfamiliar terrain. We all experience time, but the more scientists learn about it, the more mysterious it remains. We think of it as uniform and universal, moving steadily from past to future, measured by clocks. Rovelli tears down these assumptions one by one, revealing a strange universe where at the most fundamental level time disappears. He explains how the theory of quantum gravity attempts to understand and give meaning to the resulting extreme landscape of this timeless world. Weaving together ideas from philosophy, science and literature, he suggests that our perception of the flow of time depends on our perspective, better understood starting from the structure of our brain and emotions than from the physical universe. Already a bestseller in Italy, and written with the poetic vitality that made Seven Brief Lessons on Physics so appealing, The Order of Time offers a profoundly intelligent, culturally rich, novel appreciation of the mysteries of time.
